The .NET Framework is a new feature of Windows. Applications built using the .NET Framework are more reliable and secure. You need to install the .NET Framework only if you have software that requires it. (there is also a Japanese version, not sure why because my XP is English)

Also a new compatability update is there:

Man, I am sure glag someone is looking out for me !! ;)
 
This is why I dislike Windowsupdate.

Q320174 - Released April 8th, posted on OS Updates April 8th also.

Q310510 - Confusing. The MS Knowledge base article states;
"To download the update, browse to the following Microsoft Windows Update Web site:
Download the "Windows XP Application Compatibility Update" now
Release Date: October 25, 2001 "

So either way that shouldn't be listed. Again XP compatibility updates been in OS Updates for months.

Microsoft .NET Framework. After installing that you'll immediately be asked to install SP1 for it by Windowsupdate when you rescan it.
